inconvenient for both of us because I would be late for school sometimes because she would get back late. Therefore, she would have to go after work as much as possible to spare us both the headache. She also liked going at night because the physical therapy would cause her arm to hurt, and it would be more difficult for her to be productive at work. Luckily, she does not have to do any manual labor for her job, so it was not a big deal that she could not lift things. After a couple of months of the therapy not working, she went back to the doctor. She told him what was happening, and they sent her to a specialist. They took x-rays and saw that it was more than they thought. There was some sort of problem that needed surgery to be fixed. They talked about the surgery and tried to set the date. The issue was that her schedule is very busy with work, so she could not just pick a date. After the surgery she had to stay home for at least two weeks just to ensure that she would not injure it again, so she had to pick the times far in advance because she was opening new stores at the time. She finally set the date for December of 2014, and she was ready to get it done. She did not want to wait anymore because her arm hurt her so much, and she was ready for it to be over. However, she was stressed out about missing so much work. Her company completely understood, but she was very busy opening stores and training people. She did not want to push it off. She set the date right…
square from every corner of the village". This tells us that when the soldiers left to ''explore'', they were really going to find everyone from the village, and bring them into the square. This heavily implies that they will all be killed in some way. It also dehumanises them, as they have been "herded", "like cattle", as if they are animals, or sub human to the soldiers. They are not "real" people to the soldiers, and therefore do not need to be treated as such. The cowboy soldier begins to…

Smax said “no.” Then his father blocked the door, threw Beaven out and tied Smax up. Beaven ran home to his mother and told her what happened. That minute they called the cops, and headed down there. However, when they got there they were too late. They were gone, but Beaven knew exactly where they were; at an old barn downtown. They went down there and they heard gunshots. The police were trying to find where it was coming from. Freak ran in and found Smax’s father pointing a gun at him. Smax…
There is always an experience in someone’s life that makes them look back or at least reflect about themselves. This event may be a joyous, melancholy, or even both. Either way, it has an impact on that person’s life, no matter what it is. My experience started on a cold, foggy, November night at half time during a soccer game in two thousand-seven and still has not ended to this day. I was just getting to my prime; it was exactly where I wanted to be. I was content with my skills. I cannot…
faces. With her hard work for others, she has had to give up the simple pleasures of life, “I haven’t had a good, plain soup in forever, like a sinner.” (135) She toils all day and all night, “No one cleared the tea things from the table. How could I be in bed?” (105) Even with such a demanding family, and an even more demanding workload, Marina continues to push through and do what it takes to take care of those she cares about. The family’s self-serving ways cause her to work much harder than…
washing of the mess around my wound with soap and water that when it started to sting like crazy like I just got stung by hundred bees. After the doctor finished washing the wound on my foot, he gave me a shot in my foot. I asked if I can get a blanket so I won’t see my wound and the procedure. Then they bring a blanket and it was warm, so it calmed me down kind of. So I put the blanket over my head so I won’t see anything. It’s time to get stitches. The doctor comes back and I see some…
feet blackened with gasoline that slicked the road. She moved slowly, deliberately, deviating from the exact center of the road only to peer into the burnt houses and stores, searching. She stepped lightly on the exact center of the dead child's ribcage each time she passed it, and the doll heard a light cracking sound each time she passed. She noticed the doll after five or six rounds, and stopped in her tracks. The glow faded and she was left an impossibly beautiful girl lost to the darkness.…
was turned inward the way it was. I’m happy my club foot got fixed before anything else had happen. After a few years, I was still able to walk on my own but I always walked with a limp due to my leg being shorter than the other. I never really noticed it but other people sure did. Even though that was happening, I still got to do the things other kids were able to do. I used to love riding my bike up and down the street, jump roping, and doing other activities with my friends. I really…
